In this paper we study the Navier-Stokes equations with a Navier-type boundary condition that has been proposed as an alternative to common near wall models. The boundary condition we study, involving a linear relation between the tangential part of the velocity and the tangential part of the Cauchy stress-vector, is related to the vorticity seeding model introduced in the computational approach to turbulent flows. The presence of a point-wise non vanishing normal flux may be considered as a tool to avoid the use of phenomenological near wall models, in the boundary layer region. Furthermore, the analysis of the problem is suggested by recent advances in the study of Large Eddy Simulation. In the two dimensional case we prove existence and uniqueness of weak solutions, by using rather elementary tools, hopefully understandable also by applied people working on turbulent flows. The asymptotic behaviour of the solution, with respect to the averaging radius $\delta,$ is also studied. In particular, we prove convergence of the solutions toward the corresponding solutions of the Navier-Stokes equations with the usual no-slip boundary conditions, as the small parameter $\delta$ goes to zero.
